Hi Jennifer, Thanks for the reply. However, my question was not about building tools. My question was about building a workflow (using the workflow editor with existing tools), as a user of galaxy. Using the workflow editor, when I create a workflow using a tool that allows a variable number

Good Morning, We are also interested in this capability. To give a concrete example, we sometimes receive multiple sequence runs 1Š* for the same sample. We would like to be able to process each run of the sample through BWA and then merge them together, post process it a bit, and then send

This seems to fall within the recent discussion of map/reduce operators for workflows, e.g. breaking large jobs up for embarrassingly parallel tasks, then merging them back at some later point. Dannon mentioned some basic functionality does exist within Galaxy to do this, but it's at an early
